About this study

The IOL-capsular complex is formed after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Early postoperative mechanical wrapping of the anterior and posterior capsules plays a significant role in preventing IOL decentration and tilt, as well as formation of the IOL-capsular complex which reduces the incidence of posterior cataract opacity. Capsular tension rings were first introduced in the early 1990s for loosening and tightening the lens bag and maintaining the equatorial contour of the bag after cataract surgery.Today, capsular tension rings of many different designs are in use.The capsular tension rings can be used in eyes with fragile and split zonular fibers, as well as pseudoexfoliation, high myopia, Marfan syndrome, mature cataract and lens subluxation.The capsular tension ring reduces the incidence of decentration and tilt of the IOL by reducing capsular contraction. In addition, multi-focus IOL implantation combine with capsular tension ring result in smaller high-order aberrations in our eyes compared to cataract surgery with multi-focus IOL implantation alone.For patients with high myopia, they often have a longer axial length and a larger capsule diameter, which reduces the rotational stability of the IOL and may lead to tilt ,decentration and displacement of IOL.Currently, there is no literature guidance to compare the results of cataract surgery combined with or without capsular tension ring implantation in patients with high myopia.Our hospital has Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography ( SS-OCT,Casia2, TOMEY, Japan), which can accurately photograph the process of IOL capsule bending and the changes of lens position after cataract surgery. SS-OCT can be used to evaluate the influence of capsular tension ring on the dynamic changes of IOL-capsular complex in patients with high myopia after cataract surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cataract surgery with IOL implantation and with/without capsular tension ring implatation in people with High Myopia and Capsular Tension Ring, run by Wenzhou Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pingjun Chang (18868410303, 364669877@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The position of IOL (time frame: The 1st day after surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2021.
